Letter: Health care issue

This summer, members and friends of the Southeastern Colorado Chapter of Health Care for All Colorado (HCAC) have been collecting signatures in the Pueblo area to get Initiative 12, “The Right to Health Care,” on the Ballot in 2014.

Some folks have taken information about the initiative to study before making a decision to sign. For those who have decided they would like to sign the petition, we will have someone at the south entrance to the Rawlings library courtyard on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. through Oct. 15.

Initiative 12 will start the process to provide quality affordable health care to all Colorado residents so we do not continue to have people dying because they cannot afford needed care or all too often going bankrupt because they have gotten the care they needed. For more detailed information about this initiative, please go to our HCAC website at www.healthcareforallcolorado.org or call me at 543-5148.
